The fact that spammers try to get SpamCop to report to an address that doesn't work is discouraging. I like the idea of SpamCop and I hope it gets some spammers shut down. I hope you don't mind if I ask, but if spammers control the spam reporting email addresses, does reporting via SpamCop actually do anything other than make me feel good that I'm doing something? From what people have said, probably SpamCop doesn't send reports to Google because Google won't read spam reports sent by email. I'll try sending spam reports using the Google form suggested by LaserMoon above, at: https://support.google.com/mail/contact/abuse?hl=en

Thanks LaserMoon! I'll try this form for spam with a gmail From address. I never thought reporting spam could be considered a hobby, but I guess it is for me. I hate getting spam (which is why I am happy to use SpamCop) and would love for these spammers to get shut down.

Sorry if these are basic questions. I am far from an email expert. I think my reply is related to this thread. Lately, I get many spam emails each day from gmail addresses. When I submit the email source to SpamCop, the only place the email gets reported is: google-abuse-bounces-reports@devnull.spamcop.net. The tracking URL of the last such spam email report was: https://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z6725343589z6a5760a25ef977e0d0fe0613ae4f705az Does this mean that reporting these emails does nothing? In future, should I not report any emails from a gmail address? I realize that SpamCop does their best to get spammers shut down. If these spammers have found ways to make SpamCop ineffective, please let me know if there are any other actions I should take.
